Please complete this survey....
The Online Museum of Prisoners of War aims to provide a permanent commemoration of all prisoners of war. To research, collect and present information about POWs for publication in various formats on the internet for general public access, in print, and to organise occasional relevant activities and events.
The Online Museum was created and has operated on a completely voluntary basis for nearly 20 years. Since then technology has changed significantly and even more sources of information are publicly available and accessible. We plan to implement a new site to secure and organise the valuable information that currently exists, update the technology and make it even more useful and easier for all its varied users, including academics, researchers, family historians and everyone interested in the experiences of POWs and the impacts on their lives.
We'd be grateful if you would please complete this simple survey to provide anonymous feedback on the site and recommendations for future features or capabilities that would improve your overall use and experience.
This should take no more than 5 minutes of your time.
